The Quiet Room Was Named for What Happened Inside It

For the record, before the plaque goes up: the room now called by a sponsor's name held Bram Solt's Two Mouths, Rebate Kept for eight weeks with five backers, which is the closest thing this school has to unanimity. The old name described the condition a good picture creates. The new name describes an invoice.

I have no quarrel with money; the kettle in my studio was not donated by the muses. I only note that a room's name is the one label in this building nobody audits, and we are a school that audits labels. So: keep calling it what the pictures made it. The patron bought the wall. The quiet was Bram's.
